My mum went in to Harbour Rise for respite just after Christmas after a spell in hospital. The carers are amazing in this home, nothing is too much trouble for them. My mum always said that she never wanted to go into care, it was her worst dread but guess what? she has now decided that she wants to
stay there as in her words it is such a lovely place to be. It's a difficult time for everyone at the moment especially those in care but Harbour Rise has pulled out all the stops to allow family to visit one day a week in the pod. Staff have certainly gone the extra mile for all the residents. They send an email every Friday with an update of what's going on in the home with updated pictures on the website of what the residents have been up to that week. They well deserve their outstanding rating from CQC.

My mum has been at Harbour Rise for a number of months. The home is extremely professionally run with management and staff that are hard-working, kind and considerate. Since being at Harbour Rise, my mums quality of life and wellbeing have notably improved as her situation has been well managed, such
that’s she has had some stability. The strengths of Harbour Rise include the kindness and compassion of the staff and attention to detail, with a lot of effort put into small things to improve people’s quality of life. Staff are very proactive and things always appear under control. This has been illustrated under the challenging conditions of Covid-19 whereby high standards have been maintained due to obvious hard work and good decision making. Staff are very approachable and communication with relatives is good. Whenever I visit my mum, I am able to leave feeling very reassured that she is well looked after, which is great.

I am a healthcare professional who took early retirement 10 years ago to care for my disabled wife. When I could no longer care for her at home, my wife decided she would like to be cared for in Harbour Rise nursing home and I'm so glad she did. Up to her death earlier this month, the care my wife received
was exemplary in every aspect. She was treated with the utmost care, respect, love and dignity throughout her stay and in her final days, she was very much at peace. I can now see why Harbour Rise is one of only a very few nursing homes, in the whole of the South West, to be rated "outstanding" by the Care Quality Commission. Should I ever need a nursing home in the future, I hope that there will be a place available for me at Harbour Rise.

Reply from Cecile Edwards, Owner at Harbour Rise

Dear Mark, thank you for your wonderful review. It was a pleasure to look after your wife, thanks for trusting us to do so. There will always be a place for you, although hopefully not too soon.

My Mum is a resident at Harbour Rise as of this year, and we are extremely happy with the quality of care she is receiving. The rooms in the home are all nicely decorated and very comfortable, and the food and drink is high quality with lots of variation. The staff are all very friendly, my Mum loves
having a chat with them. Even though it has been a tricky time during COVID-19, the staff have managed to keep everyone safe and happy, with lots of activities - including VE Day celebrations and arts and crafts - and the quality of care has not suffered in any way.
Overall, we are really thrilled with the care Mum is receiving and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Harbour Rise.

It is an excellent care home the staff make everyone feel very welcome. They are kind and caring. It is a difficult decision where a loved one needs to reside but it is like a family home. I cannot fault it everyone goes that extra mile. Throughout lockdown, they have helped reassure us that mum is
well and being kept safe. A huge relief to all. There are many friendly faces and they all help with the smooth running of the care home. I would strongly recommend this residence to anyone who is trying to source a suitable home. Thank you all.

Since taking up residence at Harbour Rise my Aunt is happier and healthier than I've seen her in years. The care she has been shown is exemplary, the owners and their staff truly care about their residents, encouraging them to participate and engage with activities and those around them. The regular
updates we get from the owners are a great comfort to our family, and the pictures of her smiling and engaging with the world are heartwarming. I would not hesitate to recommend this facility to anyone needing a safe, caring and loving place for a precious member of their family. We are very grateful to have found Harbour Rise.

Living so far away it has been an absolute pleasure to look at the website and see my relative enjoying daily life in Harbour Rise. During these unprecedented times, it has been so reassuring to see all of the residents enjoying the day to day life. The team always go above and beyond, and even with
so much doom and gloom outside of the care home, their little bubble has been a very happy place to view on the computer. Many thanks to you all.

Reply from Cecile Edwards, Owner at Harbour Rise

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We have been very grateful to keep our "Happy Bubble" going indeed. What a nice way to describe it!

During this very trying and difficult time, the care and attention that has been shown can only be called outstanding. Well being and activities for all the residents have been thoughtful and enabling to ensure that health and mental stimulation is to the forefront. The pictures on the web site show
the happy smiling faces enjoying the varied activities that were provided. Knowing that our step mum is very happy in her safe and secure environment is a great comfort.
Outstanding team, Harbour Rise deserves a gold star.

As I live in London and only have visits with my Dad every 2 months, the weekly updates from the home during this difficult time have been very reassuring. The staff have kept my Dad safe and well amused and the photos on the website show residents engaged in a variety of activities and having some
engagement with the local community in the way of gifts such as shellfish and takeaway. My Dad was a keen cyclist and the owner has taken the time to talk to my Dad about this and keep him included in some way with the Cycling Club. We are also able to make video calls, which my Dad has very much enjoyed.

Reply from Cecile Edwards, Owner at Harbour Rise

Glad you and Dad are enjoying the video call sessions, they seem to be a great way to keep in touch during the Coronavirus. We got some hand cream from the Mid Devon Cycle Club as they raised money to support carers during the pandemic. We told Dad about it and he was thrilled.

From the moment my mum arrived, she was made to feel very welcome, and part of the Harbour Rise family.
Every visit, she was full of praise for the staff and particularly the wonderful meals.
Mum always looks clean and tidy and is happy to join in with activities, particularly difficult for her with
poor sight, but she's been encouraged and supported all the way.
Currently, in lockdown, the weekly updates and photos of residents have been very welcome and reassuring. Mum is definitely in the right place. Thank you to you all.

Mum began visiting Harbour Rise as a daycare resident in January 2019 when she needed some company following the passing of my father. She had also developed mobility issues and had begun to have falls. She started off visiting twice a week, which soon developed to five days a week. When her mobility
worsened, mum stayed for a period of two weeks for respite whilst we went on holiday as we did not feel she would be safe at home. She seemed to enjoy herself, and therefore the decision to move permanently seemed the safest option, knowing that she would be well looked after. She has now been a permanent resident for a year, and although she took some time to settle, and understand that other residents needed attention as well, I think she has realised this is her home. She has made friends with many of the members of staff. She still goes into the daycare lounge during the day as she likes the business and activities they provide.

Reply from Cecile Edwards, Owner at Harbour Rise

Thank you for your lovely and positive review. We are pleased that Mum is enjoying both the Care Home as well as the Day Care Centre. She is mixing well with everyone and she is doing well.

Our family were so happy with Harbour Rise when we discovered that the owner had especially bought a bird table for mum's patio. I had mentioned to him that my mum enjoyed watching the wildlife in general and this was such a nice surprise and was so thoughtful.

Reply from Mark Edwards, Owner at Harbour Rise

It was our pleasure and we are so happy that Mum is enjoying the bird table, we have now added a water bath too which we hope she also enjoys.

My father-in-law was 100 years old on 27th December. The family gathered at the home from far and wide, including New Zealand. The home allowed us to take over the dining room and accommodated the extra disruption to their normal routine and as always gave their help and support to make the occasion
very special for him and his relatives. Banners, personalised bunting, champagne glasses, were provided. Staff gathered to sing Happy Birthday and unknown to us, a video was made of the birthday boy blowing his candles out whilst family and staff sang. The video has been sent to family, what a wonderful keepsake.
Thank you to the wonderful staff at Harbour Rise Care Home in Paignton, Devon.

Reply from Mark Edwards, Owner at Harbour Rise

Dear Frances, it was our pleasure to mark such a special occasion and we are delighted your family enjoyed the video, best wishes from everyone at Harbour Rise.

Harbour Rise has a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. As we live over 200 miles away, we greatly appreciate updates on our relative from the excellent management team. All the staff are to be commended for their caring attitude and respect give to residents. Great care is taken to ensure the contentment
and security of all. Overall, a number one establishment and one we would highly recommend.

Every member of staff whenever I visit are cheerful, polite and friendly and take the time to talk to you.
They cannot do enough to make dads stay as good as possible.
It has made such a difference to me to know dad is safe 24 hours a day. The cost was a shock but a hotel can cost £120 a night. The
staff have said that dad's presence has helped the atmosphere of the home for the better so for us it's good value all round.
I can, will and do recommend Harbour Rise with confidence that all residents are treated with respect and care.

The level of care my husband received during the month spent at Harbour Rise was of the highest order. The patience of the staff towards very difficult and vulnerable people was very impressive. The management were knowledgeable and efficient and responded promptly to all requests.

Since last September, this has been my home. I have Parkinson's and needed to be looked after. I am extremely happy here. All the staff are so helpful and kind. The food is excellent with a good choice. We get entertainment a couple of times a week and some of us get taken out on trips, if we are able
to move a little. The home is cosy and bright and I would recommend it to anyone.

On the two occasions, I have visited my friend I have been made to feel very welcome and provided with coffee and cake. Everything is beautifully clean, well decorated and there are no odours often associated with homes.
But my overall my opinion is of a high standard, well organised accommodation.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.966)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.966) out of 10 for Harbour Rise is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 45 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 45 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.966 for Harbour Rise is calculated as follows: ( (516 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 534 Ratings = 4.966

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Harbour Rise is based on 45 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8, which has been reached with 45 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
